but really i wouldnt buy another 6800GT i would just buy a 7800GTX cause in the benchamarks and stuff the 7800GTX outperforms the 2 6800Gts only to lose when AA and AF is turn up to 16 and 8 or what not

GOD DAMN..i have just done some searching on the company KOMPLETT...it seems they have a poor service on returns and CS..and sending wrong orders,faulty goods...etc

SO i will not be risking my hard earned cash there!....

i also build a dream gaming system at PC specialest..only to find they dont accept credit cards...DOH

OK after trying 4-5 more pc build sites (all had poor reviews) finally i have found a company with good reviews and great CS
i have just placed my order which will be here in 3 days!
this system will get me by untill i go for a duel core build in a year or so.
